Smile Empty Soul
Smile Empty Soul is an American rock band, originally from Santa Clarita, California. It was started in 1998 by Sean Danielsen (vocals and guitar), Ryan Martin (bass), and Derek Gledhill (drums). After the departure of Gledhill and Martin from the band in 2005 and 2017, respectively, Danielsen remains the only founding member active as the band's primary songwriter, frontman, and its leader.
Smile Empty Soul formed in 1998, while its original members attended different high schools in the Santa Clarita area. The band, originally a three-piece group, consisted of vocalist and guitarist Sean Danielsen, bassist Ryan Martin and drummer Derek Gledhill.
After playing numerous hometown gigs, Smile Empty Soul ventured to the Sunset Strip. They later gave a demo to John Parker of ThroBack Records, a Los Angeles indie label leading later on to a record deal with Jason Flom's Lava Records.
On May 27, 2003, the band released their self-titled debut album Smile Empty Soul. The album was produced by John Lewis Parker and mixed by David J. Holman. Three singles, "Bottom of a Bottle", "Nowhere Kids", and "Silhouettes" were released via the recording. In March 2005, the album was certified gold with sales of 500,000+ units.
In 2005, before the recording of their second album Anxiety was finished, drummer Derek Gledhill was replaced by Flickerstick percussionist Dominic Weir. Their album Anxiety was not released at the time, due to the band parting ways with Lava Records after the company refused to release their record.
On July 13, 2006, Smile Empty Soul signed with independent label, Bieler Bros. Records. At that point, drummer Dominic Weir had been replaced by Jake Kilmer and Mike Booth (formerly of Cold) was added as a second guitarist.
On October 24, 2006, the band released Vultures, the official follow-up to their 2003 Smile Empty Soul. The album does not feature songs from the unreleased Anxiety. The first single released on Vultures was the song "The Hit".
Vultures debuted at No. 169 on the Billboard 200 album charts with just over 5,000 copies sold. The band then embarked on a tour with The Exies. In late April 2007, the band parted ways with Mike Booth, which was a mutual split. The band did not replace him continuing on as a 3 piece. The trio started recording their next record in Greenville, South Carolina on February 1, 2008.
